I started the "hating" when pc promised everything would work on every computer. this just seemed impossible bordering idiotic. before this every screen had the same resolution. UI was horrifically easy! The c64 had characters in the font set that allowed drawing boxes. You can imagine but it was 10 times easier. The problem with many layers of abstraction is that it borders the imposible if the layer abstacted to poorly suports something. Take physical screen size and simple scaling to fit? Is it a tiny 1024px laptop or a giant tv? there is no solution I can think of
